Fetch public Douyin video data three ways from one Actor: full detail for a video, lightweight engagement counters for many videos at once, or the videos Douyin recommends alongside a given one. scraperType picks the mode.
Input
| Field | Type | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
scraperType | enum | videoDetails | videoDetails, videoStatistics, or relatedVideos. |
aweme_id | string | — | A Douyin video URL or numeric ID. Required for relatedVideos. |
aweme_ids | string | — | Several video IDs, comma-separated. videoDetails and videoStatistics only. |
maxItems | integer | 100 | relatedVideos only — caps how many recommended videos are collected. |

Questions
Does passing several IDs in aweme_ids cost less than running them one by one?
No. Every mode resolves a list as one request per ID, so a ten-ID run costs ten requests whichever way you split it. Passing a list saves you orchestrating the runs, nothing more.
Why is play_count inside statistics showing 0 for a video I know has views?
videoDetails' embedded statistics.play_count reads 0 on every video tested live, while videoStatistics returns the real number for the same video. Switch scraperType to videoStatistics when the play count matters — that is the reason to use it, not cost.
Can relatedVideos return the same video twice, or fewer than maxItems?
Both. It pages through Douyin's live "more like this" feed using a page counter, not a cursor, so pages can reshuffle and repeat a video between calls the same way the app itself does. It also stops as soon as Douyin reports no more items, which can happen before maxItems is reached.
What happens to an invalid ID inside aweme_ids?
It's logged and skipped, and the rest of the list still runs — in both videoDetails and videoStatistics. A run only fails outright when no ID in the list resolves, so check the row count against the IDs you passed rather than assuming a full set came back.
